I believe you understand exactly what I mean.
Look it is really simple... in a war it helps to know who your enemy is.
It just so happens that your friendly Afghan poppy growers are killing more US kids (90% of 2,000 annual heroin deaths in the US) than Taliban bombs and bullets. That this simple fact has been missed is rather ... strange, I'm sure you will agree. That the US diplomatic/military contingents in-country continue to use the troops on the ground to protect the source of supply is strange to the point of bizarre. (Worth investigation I suggest)
So where are the Taliban getting their money from?
* From (US allies) in the Gulf
* From taking a cut from the opium trade
* From taking a cut from the billions of US tax-payers $ supposedly to be used for aid and development.
